General description

Diethylamine (DEA) is an organic base and a weak σ-donor ligand. It plays the role of a bond-breaking agent in a novel ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique for measuring the avidity index (AI) of IgG-anti-PT (Immunoglobulin G-anti-pertussis toxin) antibodies.

Application

Diethylamine has been used to prepare a high-pH elution solution in combination with sodium deoxycholate, which was employed during the immunoabsorption of postsynaptic density (PSD) proteins.

A polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phase (Sepapak-4), with cellulose tris(4-chloro-3-methylphenylcarbamate) as chiral selector, has been investigated in liquid chromatography (LC). Its enantioresolution power was evaluated towards 13 basic amino-drugs with widely different structures and polarities, using polar organic mobile phases. After
